How funny! We are getting married on August 7, 2010 also...Which location did you pick?

Wow that is funny! We are getting married at the chapel. Where are you getting married? Did you pick your spot for the reception? I think that's is where I'm having the toughest time!

Hi lovely ladies! I am getting married on July 17th, 2010 at the oceanfront chapel. How are you selecting your reception venue?

I'm also getting married at the Gran Caribe. I was considering getting married at the Royal, but all of my guests are staying at the Gran and I just thought it would be easier that way. I've also heard the Gran's gazebo is a bit more secluded than the Royal's. If anyone's interested in knowing, the WC told me today that they charge $350 per vendor for outside vendors... so if you're thinking about getting photography, DJ etc... from outside vendors, remember to keep that in mind when planning your budget.

Bad news.... our wedding coordinator quit (or was let go) unexpectedly and now we are playing the waiting game to see who will get our account. I'm so sad because she was great! We wanted to get out invitations out (I feel like we are on the late side) but we can't until we confirm everything with the hotel. And we were also told about the $350 outside vendor fee... AH! that's crazy expensive... guess our photographer better deliver!

Wow... can you believe the equipment/pipes on the beach right out the window! That must have been so disappointing... that must have been when they were getting the "new beach" they advertise on the website!

FYI- if you plan on having a wedding that starts at/after 4pm there is a $400 surcharge... I'm not sure when this was introduced but it wasn't there when we booked last Sept...they better not think they are charging us that!

I do hope those pipes and all the construction will be over by November 2010. We too plan on having our wedding at the Chapel.

 

MORE PICTURES PLEASE!

That wedding on the photographers website was LATE NOVEMBER 2009.

 

When I saw the pictures, I did some research about the beach. I guess the government had some problems with the resort and their way of creating/preserving the beach (stealing sand?). I read an article that basically said 1)there were unsolved legal issues with the resort and govt 2) the resort was last on the list for beach rebuilding due to legal issues 3)the resort's owners were being stubborn and 4) the beaches were being rebuilt as of late 2009 but they skipped the Real Resorts (both).

 

I THINK the issues were resolved and the beach recreated but I am not sure. The person who posted the article link made a vague statement about the entire beach repair (all of Cancun) would be completed before February 2010.

What day in November are you planning on getting married?
